It was ... well,
ultimately, it was really just a preview of their final showdown in
"Return of the Jedi."

That same idea
might be true for "Revolution's" Miles Matheson and Sebastian
Monroe. Earlier this season, they battered, bruised and bloodied each
other in one stellar fracas. The former besties, once thick as
thieves, realized they could (and probably would) kill one another if
given the opportunity.

But, their initial
battle ended without a clear winner. Just like Luke and Vader.

In "Revolution's"
season finale (10 p.m., NBC) Miles and Monroe will, once again, lock
horns in battle. And, while it's unlikely one will triumph at the
expense of the other, it's not out of the realm of possibility. This
is a series, mind you, that has already killed off two major
characters in its first season.

When asked, Billy
Burke, who plays Miles, the war-hardened former Marine turned
reluctant hero, said, "All I can say about the end of this season
is that it sort of - it all comes down to everything we've been
fighting for comes into question." He later added, "it's pretty
safe to say that I don't think that we're going to end this
season without, you know, some sort of final showdown between those
two characters."

Will the evil
Monroe succumb to Miles' sword (or laser blaster, for that matter)?
Burke said he has "zero idea what's going to happen after this
episode. I've not seen one line of one script for next season, so I
don't have a clue what we're going to be going into."

One thing the
actor is sure of is that he'll continue to enjoy whatever comes
Miles' way. Burke, who, before this series was best known as Charlie
Swan in the "Twilight" film franchise, said "Revolution" is a
dream job.

"I've had more
fun doing this than I've had doing anything in a number of years,
actually," he said. "It's just been - it's been sort of a
joy every day. It's hard work. I mean we - you know, we work an
average of, you know, 14, 15, 16 hour days, and it's a very
physical show - and I'm getting s@#$ beat out of me all the time
whether it's - whether the character is or not."

Burke relishes the
opportunity to build his character in collaboration with the show
writers.

"Initially,
here's what you really appreciate as an actor: If you can be
trusted," he said. "And I felt that from the very first moment
that I sat down with (creator Eric) Kripke to talk about it. I felt
like they were going to trust me to do what I was going to do with
the material given.

"That being said,
I'm so thankful to him and the rest of the writers for, you know,
really giving a s@#$ about, not only my character, but all these
characters and the, you know, the precarious lines that they walk.

"You know, my
character, in particular, has sort of taken a path around himself to
get to where he is now. And that's always the greatest stuff to
play with.

"Yes, the sword
fighting is fun and, you know, we've been having a ball with
everything, but I can't think of, especially for television, I
can't think of anything that would be, you know, more enriching to
work with."
